Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

1/ The FTC has no more business policing the editorial decisions of Apple News under the guise of "consumer protection" than it does the "fair and balanced-ness" of Fox News' coverage--as I pointed out when Ferguson went on his social media fishing expedition. www.thefire.org/news/ftc-ove...

We need @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on everything, everywhere, all at once.

I had a journalism professor who told me, “You get 7 exclamation points in your lifetime. Use them sparingly.” This judge blew right through that.

Hegseth's unconstitutional retaliation against Sen. Kelly was so brazen that an exasperated federal judge used more than a dozen exclamation points! Highlights from the ruling: "Horsefeathers!" and "Please!" "That is a troubling development in a free country!" buff.ly/YY60KWM

30 countries use mail voting

Minnesota still needs your attention

Look at Pam Bondi while Jamie Raskin is speaking. She couldn’t care less.

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

5-year-old twins were denied bond because lack of assets and property. Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me. 😡

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.** He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Oh god, Mollie Hemmingway is dropping a fellacious bio of Alito in April. Folks, this man is *so* going to retire at the end of the term. Senate Democrats, PLEASE staff up. This is *going to happen.* www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/molli...

My new piece is up and it requires your URGENT ATTENTION! open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

JUST IN: DOJ is trying to help Steve Bannon erase his conviction for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee. Motion has no career prosecutor on it, just signed by US Attorney Pirro. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's the joy. How can you be so angry in the face of that much joy?

Well.

Clearly the creative folks in #Superbowl advertising took a break.

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors "As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

Some people just happen to live at times and in places where history is made. And, Georgia, this year, once again, that’s us.

@repstansbury.bsky.social did not give one good answer on @theweekend as to why Hillary Clinton was subpoenaed. Not one.

French police arrest five over crypto-linked magistrate kidnapping

This seems to be woefully inaccurate.

😕

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Watching #Becoming on Netflix. I was saving it but something, something compelled me to want to recall the expressions of sheer joy the #Obamas, especially Michelle, illicit everywhere they go.

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!

🚨BREAKING: Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Please don't use that racist meme, even to write about it.

The video Trump posted of Barack and Michelle Obama is beyond disgusting, blatantly racist, and a disgrace to the office. I always say we must reject hatred of any kind whenever we see it— and that means calling this out loudly and clearly.

Somebody shook Tim Scott awake?

Donald Trump is a racist.

Finally, some signs of life in Congress.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

They're Abrego-Garcia-ing a child -- punishing him because his very existence is inconvenient to them. It's gutter bigotry and petulant sadism all the way down.

GOP says if just had voter id laws in place they'd never need to worry about election "integrity." Reminder: Georgia in 2020 election had in place one of strictest voter id laws in nation. Yet still Trump/GOP still claim that election was fraudulent. If GOP wins it's fair, if lose it's fraud.

Layoffs are up 118% from January 2025. Trump promised to come in and fix the economy on day one. He lied. And now thousands of Americans have lost their jobs as unemployment rates continue to rise. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/05/l...

Oh looky.

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

17 years ago today, I was sworn in as the first Black Attorney General of the United States during Black History Month.

SENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed We must rein in ICE Here’s what we're demanding:

I can't wait to see what all of these fierce, mistreated journalists do next. Someday soon someone is going to figure out how to wrangle all of this talent into one helluva news organization.

How is the sucking up to Trump by these so-called power brokers any different than the sucking up to Jeffrey Epstein? Same men debasing themselves to be in the orbit of another vile man. Says a lot about rich men.

Again, not once has the media asked “Can we afford ICE?” the way they obsessed about affordability with Biden’s student loan debt relief or Obama’s health care plan. And the media surely isn’t going to ask “Can we afford this?” about this crazy military spending increase 🤔🤷‍♂️ bsky.app/profile/mcop...

FINNEAS defends sister Billie Eilish amid online backlash over her anti-ICE comments at GRAMMYs: “Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech. We can literally see your names in the Epstein files.”

NEW: Letitia James, the New York attorney general, announced that her office will deploy "legal observers" to document ICE activity in NY. Her office says the effort is the first of its kind by an AG. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/n...

I wish I lived in a country where our elected officials in Congress had at least half the balls of E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, Christine Blasey Ford, Anita Hill, or the Epstein survivors.

I think this would have the opposite effect of what is intended. Instead of supressing the vote you’re going to end up with angry people even more determined to cast a ballot bsky.app/profile/marc...
